Not While I'm Eating: A Comedy Contest with Dr Thunder

07/15/2014

Since so many people are liking this page lately, I should probably tell you that we haven't had a show in almost two years, and have no plans to in the future. Though, if someone really wants to have a comedy show in West Philly, we got our best crowds at Queen Of Sheba, and I know Dahlak's open to having it again. I could talk to the owners for you, get them to pony up a cash or gift certificate/beer/food prize, and maybe even sit there with my audio equipment and take photos. We had a lot of fun times, and a lot of great comics, but I'm way too busy hosting karaoke to promote comedy.

Exciting News! Not While I'm Eating will be having a February show at Queen Of Sheba, possibly changing its name to something more palatable, and seeking out musical acts, sketch and improv groups, comedians, sideshow folk and more!
E-mail me at [email protected] if you have something (anything!) you want to present to a crowd of West Philly weirdos!

Our NEXT show will probably be our big 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY on Sun Nov 4th @ Sheba, but stay tuned!
Congrats to tonight's winners: 1) Stephen Metzger! 2) James Bradford! 3) Bradley Beck!
